15 years later he had, in 'Upper Egypt: its Peoples and its
Products', produced a comprehensive account of the manners,
customs, superstitions and occupations of the people of the Nile
Valley, desert region and Red Sea Coast. Written some 40 years
after Edward William Lane's influential 'Manners and Customs of the
Modern Egyptians', it is with the latter book that Dr. Georg
Schweingurth, in his prefatory note, compares Klunzinger's
achievement. Recalling how, on first meeting the author, he had
urged him to develop the field of Egyptian culture and produce 'an
appendix to the Baedeker of the future', he predicted that
Klunzinger's book would become 'an indispensable addition to the
library of every Nile tourist, however small it may be'. 120 years
later, 'Upper Egypt: its People and its Products' retains both its
interest and its power to delight, and will appeal to the expert
and casual reader alike.
